I now need to buy loads of valves and replace them in every set for good measure, it will only cost hundreds to do so but everyone knows that all valves found in every set are defective, it's a light bulb after all.
The above statement is random crap I made up, we all know how reliable valves can be, apart from the UL41 but the rest are fine.
The point I'm making is, why do so many people think a valve works like a bulb? The mind boggles.
